HARRISBURG,
Feb.
21.--Cover-
j
nor
Arthur
H.
James
announced
today
he
would
extend
"every
proper
cooperation
to
the
Pennsylvania
Turnpike
Commission
for
the
completion
of
the
so-called
dream
highway"
linking
Harrisburg
and
Pittsburgh.
'Â·The
principal
argument
raised
against
the
highway,"
the
Governor
said,
t:
is
its
completion
would
cause
a
large
scale
redistribution
of
traffic
ar.d
thus
adversely
affect
communities
along
the
Lincoln
and
William
Penn
highways.
"Similar
reasoning
could,
of
course,
be
applied
to
virtually
any
major
improvement
which
ever
has
been
or
will
be
projected.
"Experience
in
the
past
has
shown
that
such
pessimistic
predictions
rarely
come
true."
James
said
he
had
arrived
at
his
decision
on
the
turnpike,
after
a
"detailed
investigation
by
Secretary
of
Highways
I.
Lamont
Hughes
and
after
several
hearings
for
the
presentations
ot
arguments
on
both
sides
of
the
question."
Governor
James
said:
"Both
the
United
States
and
Pennsylvania
would
benefit
from
the
completion
of
this
project.

who
immediately
contacted

As

HARRISBURG,
Feb.
21.--
Recommendations
oÂ£
majority
legislative
leaders
and
his
own
fiscal
advisers
prompted
Governor
Arthur
H.
James
today
to
make
an
upward
revision
of
$2,000,000
in
his
^370,000,000
1939-41
budget.
Thc
additional
$2,000,000
apparently
was
made

estimate

oÂ£
the
current
fiscal
period,
May

to
342,000,000
instead
of
$40,000,000.
The
Governor's
nesv
jmd
slightly
changed
budget
figures
were
revealed
after
he
conferred
for
two
hours
Monday
afternoon
with
members
of
the
House
Ways
and
Means
and
Senate
Finance
committee,
which
were
specially
assigned
to
assist
in
drawing
up
to
loose
ends
of
Pennsylvania's
financial
tangle.
The
revised
budget
figures,
it
is
believed,
are
nearly
final
and
will
be
listed
virtually
without
change
in
the
Governor's
budget
message
to
the
Legislature
shortly
after
it
reconvenes
from
a
two-week
recess
Monday
night.
There
had
been
some
doubt
earlier
that
the
message
would
be
submitted
Monday,
but
these
were
dispelled
at
the
conference.

Bill
Creating
'"Easy"
Divorces
By
United

'
HELENA,
Mont,
Feb.
21.--Legislative
go-getters
seeking
to
cut
in
on
Nevada's
trade
in
"unhappy
tourists,"
attempt
today
to
override
Governor
Roy
E.
Ayers
who
vetoed
their
easy
divorce
bill.
"Montana
does
not
want
to
profiteer
on
others'
misfortunes,"
Ayers
said,
in
commenting
on
his
veto
message
to
the
legislature
which
said:
"I
do
not
believe
that
Montana
should
have
the
stigma
ol
commercializing
upon
the
unsuccessful
and
the
unfortunate
marriage
and
domestic
troubles
of
her
sister
states.""
Tne
bill
would
have
reduced
the
residence
requirement
for
a
divorce
from
one
year
to
30
days.
Heatedly
debated,
in
both
houses,
it
passed
the
Senate
by
14
votes,
the
House
by
16
votes.
To
over-ride
Ayres'
veto,
the
proponents
will
have
to
obtain
a
two-
thirds
majoritj;
of;
jaoih,
houses
this
was
believed
improbable.
Ayers'
veto
caused
considerable
relaxation
in
legislative
circles
in
Carson
City
where
Nevada's
legislators
were
prepared
to
defend
the
state's
profitable
divorce
industry.
A
bill
had
already
been
introduced
reducing
Nevada's
residence
requirement
from
six
to
-four
weeks
which
would
have
under-cut
Montana's
proposed
period
by
two
days.
The
legislators
hadn't
wanted
to
cut
it
more,
unless
it
was
necessary,
because
the
"unhappy
tourists"
would
spend
less
money
in
Nevada
iÂ£
required
to
live
in
the
state
a
shorter
time.
If
the
Montana
legislature
refuses
to
over-ride
Ayers'
veto,
the
bill
will
be
killed.
The
Montana
legislators
seeking
the
easy
divorce
law
had
stressed
that
its
chief
benefit
would
be
to
bring
more
people
and
more
money
into
the
stale.
